Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 3rd November 2013

Townses

NSD for me today as although we had youngest sons birthday party it was all budgeted for in advance with no extra spends at all.

Woo, no spend day for me. Free coffee, food on a prepaid train. Things are onto a good start.

Sorry for being AWOL, first post updated to here.

Welcome along to all the newbies joining us this week. And welcome back to the regulars. :hello:

Well I had a spend day today of £6.53 :eek: was unplanned. I always put together a couple of shoeboxes for a Xmas appeal for a local animal charity. So picked up some cheap bits and also a photo frame I wanted for our bedroom.

£6.53 / £30

Well done on the no spend days and low spend days.

Hi everyone

Thanks ETO for the new thread. Sorry I didn't post last week but I just ran out of time lol! I ended up not spending as much money as I'd thought. I managed to spend only £28.00 out of the £40.00 I'd allocated so that was great.

This week I'd like to pledge my usual £5.00 again as work is in short supply this week. Sunday was a NSD and today will be too as I'm not going anywhere in this rubbish weather lol! :rotfl::rotfl:

Have a great week everyone!

Cheers

Hi everyone, hope you are well!

Back from a great weekend in Cardiff, and only spend £47 whilst there, so was green last week. Whoop!

Think I am going to pledge £25 for this week, and see how it goes

I wasn't in my usual office today so didn't have access to my tea and coffee stash. That meant a spend of £3.15 on three cups of tea, and £2.90 on lunch (a really yummy omelette).

I've put the leftover 95p in my change jar, so that leaves me with £13 till Friday.

ETO - its lovely you do animal charity boxes. Where i worked last Christmas the company encouraged staff to make boxes for kids who wouldn't otherwise receive anything to open Christmas Day. My team did about half a dozen between between us for various ages. I might do 1 myself this year as our local radio station is also a drop off point.

Today was a slight panic as i went to renew my parking pass, went to the office with my £6 in change ready (they are notorious for not accepting notes) and asked for the form. The man said "Ok, i'll get it, have you got your £6.10 ready?" Arghhhh 10p!! 10p?? Where did this rise come from? I nodded but knew i only had £6.05 in my purse - I had visions of having to ask people in the queue for 5p! Thankfully when he returned he just asked me to pop £6 in the machine. Phew!

So

Sunday: NSD
Monday: £6

Still aiming for under £10 for the week and 5 NSDs.

Wow what a long post for me!

NSD today. :j we didn't go anywhere and I managed to blitz the house and get some ironing done.

My work have decided for the last few years not to do cards, but to donate money to a charity which is nice too. I think our local radio has a donate to a child appeal. You just buy a pressie and stick in a box in the shopping centre, but you label for boy/ girl and age range.

Oooo that could have been a bugga with the parking pass. Glad it worked out ok though.
